I was watching TV and happened to stop on channel 38 which is Fox Sports Southwest and saw them advertising the PV vs GSU game. I just thought I would let people know about it just in case they wanted to catch some SWAC football action on TV and I believe they are gonna show halftime as well for those interested.
 
Yes it is part of this package.....

New Vision Sports announces HBCU TV deal
September 1, 2004

Oakland, CA * New Vision Sports Properties has announced that it has negotiated a new television partnership for the 2004 football season on behalf of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) and Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).


Spurred by a request from MEAC Commisioner Dennis Thomas for a TV deal that would place teams from his conference in front of larger audiences, New Vision Sports began teaming with corporate advertising partners and brought in Integrated Sports Media (ISM TV), an African-American-owned media production and distribution company, to negotiate with television stations.

The result was 18 televised games from schedules of MEAC, SIAC and SWAC football programs. The schedule will begin with two games on Saturday, September 4 televised by ISM TV. Black Entertainment Television (BET) and College Sports TV (CSTV) will each televise games nationally (three by BET, one by CSTV). Additional national and regional coverage includes 12 games by ISM TV and two by FOX Sports Regional.

"All of the pieces came together to make this very exciting television package materialize," said Commissioner Thomas. "New Vision Sports used its experience to bring corporate America to the table to purchase inventory for our games, and ISM TV brought its expertise in dealing with media outlets so they could realize the value of our institutions. I am looking forward to completing similar television packages for our other sports this season as well."

As part of the 12-game ISM TV package, Chrysler Group and its brands of either Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep will present 12 commercial-free halftimes, allowing fans to view the entire shows between the competing school?s bands without interruption. This presents an added bonus for viewers, as the competition between HBCU bands is almost as legendary and historical as the football games themselves.

"This is an outstanding television package that gives our football programs the national media attention they deserve," said SWAC Commissioner Robert Vowels. "We are elated to know the participating media partners understand the economic value of our universities."
